‘The Penguin’ Hits Another Viewership Milestone

Viewers don’t seem to mind the lack of true heroes on The Penguin: the dark and violent drama from HBO Original continues to grow each week and, in fact, hit another series high on Sunday.

The Colin Farrell starrer averaged 1.8 million U.S. cross-platform viewers, the drama’s strongest single-day performance for the overall series in the states.
